Wow, it compiled this time (Woo, guess i had the *MESH_NUMVERTEX for the collision wrong, now im off to test (WOO!!!)
EDIT: Ok, i have it sorted out side of the game, but now i have a problem with it in the game.
When i click on the component in the botlab, it comes up error finding location, so whatever that means i have no idea (its not the .txt file, that looks correct)

Email me the GMF file, I'll try to see what's wrong.

Re did most of it, and here is the result:

The flipper is in 2 parts, the main flipper itself (made from a titainium sheet) and the hump (made from a ram plate)
Infact most of the robot is made of my components (except for the balasts :3)
So, who should i attempt next?

Try to make stinger

Nope, not doing wheels yet.
New replica w/ custom components:

Built by a mate of mine.
The skirt hinge is edited from my front hinge burst, less power and i edited the collision vertexs on the axle of the skirt hinge so there isnt any (when it would of flipped it would raise the robot, not good)
The flipper was modded from a steel skirt.

Sorry to double post but this is rather urgent.
Does anyone know what the *TM_ROW?'s numbers mean in the attachment points, and how to angle them ect.
Also how can i make an attachment point into one that can be attatched to something and for something to attach to it (like an extender)

Here, Matt. I wrote and posted this a while ago. (Should have 'stickied' it or something...
Eerere: Have at it...

The 3 verticalColumns are the Arena’s X,Y,Z coordinates:
X Y Z of Arena.
.................X Y Z
*TM_ROW0 1 0 0
*TM_ROW1 0 1 0
*TM_ROW2 0 0 1
--------------------------

The first 3 (0-2) horizontal Rows are the Robot/Object’s X,Y,Z coordinates/direction:
*(X)TM_ROW0 1 0 0
*(Y)TM_ROW1 0 1 0
*(Z)TM_ROW2 0 0 1

These 3 rows determines the ‘direction’ of each of the bot’s 3 X,Y,Z axes,in reference to thearena’s 3 X,Y,Z coordinates. In other terms these determine the bot’s/object’sPitch, Yaw, and Roll,withinthe arena.It tells each axis where to point within the arena at the start of the game; like the cam angles in the bot pythons. (Notice that the 2nd row (the bots ‘Y’ or vertical axis) is usually left with no x or z bias/tilt, but only 1 in the Arena’s Y axis (180degrees- ‘upright’). These numbers have an effect on one another and are therefore ‘very picky’.
I’ve got some ‘templates’ for directing bots/objects in arenas (esp. starting points for bots), so that you can start them facing square with the arena with backs against walls), or face them with backs toward each corner (diagonally).

--------------------------

The 4th horizontal Row only determines the ‘location’ of the bot/object within the Arena’s X,Y,Z.
*TM_ROW0 1 0 0
*TM_ROW1 0 1 0
*TM_ROW2 0 0 1
--------
*TM_ROW3 5 3 12

Let me know if this helps...

Thanks, but what i really wanted to of known (sorry if i didnt make this clear) is how to angle them aswell.
So, would pitch be how high or low the attachment point is, yaw how tired it is (havent got a clue for that one) and roll the angle?
How would i make point 1 on a titainium sheet face 45degrees forward (towards the right side of the component, the other side where attachment point 3/ side is)

Ok, Matt, NP. Here it is spelled out, practically:
A chart of some template examples. GMF_formatting

I'll catch you on MSN if this is not enough.

After a lot of work, here is the outcome:

The flipper is 3 custom components :)

You're getting good at this. I'm not going to need any HW replicas for DSL (after I make the existing replicas their proper weight classes, there will be a great overabundance of HW's) but if you ever make some LW's or MW's, I am quite confident you could get them to DSL-quality.

I got your PM and I agree the tooth would make a nice addition to DSL3. Couldn't hurt at least. Just needs a bit of skin work, which wouldn't be too difficult.

Cool, thanks :D
I would try some LWs and MWs but its who to do is the problem, but i will try one :P

You do know that the War Head dome, arms and body are all in the AU BB AI Pack?
